Cheney, 1932. The established limits of 10 ducks and 4 geese, and possession limit of one day's bag was no doubt observed more often because not that many birds could be obtained than for any other reason. Except on the opening daj^ not many shooters seemed to be able to bring in limit bags. Restriction of hours of hunting to the time between 7 and 4 was both hard to enforce and hard for a large group of eager hunters to observe. This Avas especially true after the opening day, when the ducks learned to hurry to the nearest refuge as soon as a single shot was fired. The forbidding of live decoys and baiting provided some really effective contributions to the preservation of the birds, and this no doubt accounted for some increased survival of the birds. Restrictions against the use of sink boxes or batteries, and shotguns over 10 gauge or more than 3-shell capacity, could scarcely have been very effective under conditions in California. Benefits from such imposed limitations to shooting as the ones just listed must come from voluntary respect for them as well as from.
